4/17- DUE TO THE WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC AND DELAYS IN MATERIALS PLEASE ALLOW A FEW EXTRA DAYS FOR PROCESSING. I am working as hard as possible to get orders out on time but delays are unfortunately inevitable right now.

3/14 - We've moved to a Made to Order style of ordering. After long discussions with the FB group it was decided that longer processing times were more favorable if all items were available to purchase. The next couple of months will be a trial period to adjust and grow accustom to this new style of production. I've also introduced a small collection of previous scents that all my former Ghouls would appreciate. Thank you all for your constant support and excitement for all the new changes. Please see the FAQfor details about current processing times.

The world is in upheaval and I think we're all trying to find some sort of routine and normality. Something I try to hold onto during times of anxiety and uncertainty are things I can control, which for me is my skincare and self care routines. I delicately lay out my skincare products twice daily, cherry picking what I need for staying inside before I become a ball of stress trying to manage supply delays, keeping myself entertained or relaxing to rearranging my house in Animal Crossing.

I rotate out my skincare daily and I am ushering in the blooms with one of my go to cleansers: Freyja's Meadow Cleansing Grains. It smells so delicious and is perfect for what my skin needs right now. Also rotating through all the Botanical Cleansing Waters has been super fun, from the medicinal Baba Yaga to the delicate rose scent of Viking Queen it really has been something I've looked forward to. Plus they're the perfect choice since I'm wearing little to no makeup everyday. And with any new collection I come out with I binge using it for weeks or even months before release and I truly am obsessed with everything from the Persica's Harvest Collection.

I will also use this space to say thank you to all my new and old customers who have supported me during these times. I am so thankful to be able to do what I do. Thank you for your patience and kindness regarding any random delays that have come up during the pandemic. I hope to shorten up the processing times by June so you can receive your treats even faster. Stay healthy and well, be kind to yourself and others, be safe and create space for what you need right now.
